MCT:July 28, 2008"Birdee" (Sandra Bullock) thought she had the perfect life. That was until her best friend (Rosanna Arquette) brings her on a nationally televised talk show to reveal she is having an affair with "Birdee's" husband (Michael Paré) as their impressionable daughter looks on from the audience.
Now, "Birdee" and her daughter (Mae Whitman) leave for the town "Birdee" grew up in and moves in with her mother (Gena Rowlands) and nephew (Cameron Finley), who, for an unexplained reason, loves to dress up in some quite creative costumes.
The first thing you will notice is the characters are pretty likable. Though some are not as well developed as the main characters, they do feel like they belong there. They are all well written in fact.
Another thing you will notice is that the cast works well together. They brought their characters and the situations together nicely.
One thing this movie does well is make you feel for the characters. "Berdiee" and "Bernice" are shown going through a whole bunch of emotions, many of which parallel each other.
One problem we never see resolved is "Bernice's" problems with the school bully. Does she continue to get bullied, or has the bully moved on to another victim? That is never cleared up.
On a cinematography note, none of the scenes really stand out. However, there are a couple of scenes where they are set up in a way to show the emotional situation of the cast in the scene without much dialog, if any. The script itself is also written nicely in general.
I think that this might be a good movie for the guys to rent for a romantic evening with their girl. Other than that, don't rent it as a first choice if you are single. -
MCT:June 26, 2008This movie reminds me of someone ~ so I try not to watch it very much ~ as he isn't in my life anymore.

This movie was cute. It wasnt anything like WOW, but it was cute. It had really cute parts in it, but it was overall really predictable. It was cute though, definatly something people should see

I've seen this movie a couple times and each time it has been enjoyable. Sandra Bullock always makes her roles seem so natural and effortless that one cannot help but enjoy watching her. Having Harry Connick Jr and Gena Rowland s along for the ride doesn't hurt either.

Its ok. It seems like it was the original Sweet Home Alabama when it comes to romance and the South.

This is such a beautiful love story. It is so moving and really makes you fall in love with the story. Sandra Bullock is at her best in this. It's a sad story, but has a wonderful ending.

I didn't care for the film. The character that Sandra Bullock plays isn't a likable one and I didn't really care if she was happy in the end. The character of the daughter wasn't good at all either. In the end I really didn't care and that made me long for the end of the movie.

Sandra Bullock was really good in this, but I did find it bit slow in some parts and way to 'dreamy romantic'

MCT:December 24, 2007It reminded me of one of those Lifetime movies. I like Sandra Bullock, but this movie was kind of boring.

A movie you'd assume to be "touching" and a "chick flick" but it's actually just simply memorable...a good watch when your bored or down or happy
